Vivane Houle & Marco Neri

Marco Neri (synths) and Viviane Houle (voice) are a Victoria-based duo blending free improvisation, abstract song, and composition to craft immersive soundscapes. Their performances traverse the spectrum from dense, chaotic textures to moments of exquisite delicacy and sparseness.  Drawing inspiration from Houle’s graphic scores and text fragments and embracing the spontaneity of pure improvisation, they create music that is deeply moving, uncensored, tender, and majestic. The duo’s dynamic interplay invites listeners into sound worlds that feel both profoundly personal and expansively universal.

This event is being held on the unceded, asserted & shared traditional territories of Penelakut, Lamalcha, Hwlitsum  and other Hul’qumi’num and SENĆOŦEN speaking peoples, Coast Salish Peoples of Galiano, as well as the ceded territories of Tsawwassen First Nation, on what is now known as Galiano Island.
